Common questions about Acacia Ridge

Is Acacia Ridge safe?

It is on the less safe side of Brisbane, scoring 23/100 for safety and ranking #213 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 161 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Acacia Ridge police division, not for Acacia Ridge alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Acacia Ridge good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is safety and parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 23/100, parks 26/100 and green space 34/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Acacia Ridge expensive to live in?

Median rent is $335 a week, and household income ranks #254 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 11/100 for value.

Does Acacia Ridge have good public transport?

It scores 33/100 for transit, #128 of 277 in Brisbane. That measures train, tram and bus access within the suburb boundary, weighted by mode.
